L.A. Times somewhat bizarrely picks the Wiz to miss the playoffs entirely. ("They're fun, but their rivals have been improving and they haven't," LAT says, completely ignoring the benefits of having injured Lithuanians on your bench.)

I've been wondering if the outlets that pick the Wizards to miss the playoffs are qualified at all to be doing their jobs. I'd like to know which teams that didn't make the playoffs last year improved their teams in the offseason more than the Wizards.
